Modification of structural optical and electrical properties of a material by ion beam implantation and irradiation

Current Research

Synthesis compound semiconductor thin films (ZnO, CuS)

Ion Beam Implantation and Irradiation

Research Summary

My research work mainly focused on the effect of ion implantation, irradiation and annealing process of II-VI compound semiconductor (ZnO, CdS, ZnSe, CdSe) thin films for optoelectronic applications. Initially synthesis of nanomaterials as thin films using cast effective methods like SILAR and CBD. Further, the grown thin films were ion beam irradiated with low and high energy ion beams (Ag, Au, and N) on CDs and ZnSe thin films and its modification of properties were analyzed using RBS, GAXRD, PL, Raman and Hall measurement. Further research work focused on the ion beam implantation utilized to produce a junction diode and synthesis of I-III-VI2 compound semiconductor for solar cell application

Highlights of Research

Effect of annealing, ion implantation and irradiation on the modification of structural, optical and electrical properties of II-VI nanostructured thin films
